WDYS/PPTM June: Hundreds of pictures of herons catching fish.

between my dad and I, we have a few Sb600's and a Sb700, but the yongnuo triggers are great. $28 dollars for a set of two, and haven't had a misfire yet. Tested them up to about 50 yards, and then got tired of yelling "Did it flash??"

I'll spend the money on the things that matter and I'll put to use, but I don't use off camera flash enough to fork out the money for pocket wizards when these will suffice

Just out of curiosity, do you ever do any automotive light painting Zach? I dig your work

$28? Damn, mine were about 80 a pop..I hated my cactus triggers though, if I had my head up to the camera they wouldn't trigger, I had to move my eye away from the viewfinder for the signal to transmit..my cybersyncs right now are amazing though, paid $150 for 2 receivers and a transmitter.

I think I paid $60 for my Interfit Strobies. Haven't misfired yet. I'll spend the money on pocketwizards when I can't accept the risk of failure.

Playing with new Sigma 50 f/1.4. My wife is the most uncooperative model ever lol.DSC_5262-1 by SDMF_Rebel, on Flickr

The day that a ring an' a preacher made her my wife.
Yeah, an' I said: "I do," but I didn't have a clue,
How I'd miss all the whiskey an' women.
I tried to be true, but it's all I can do,
Keepin' up with the Jonesin'

Rebel, did you have the Canon 50mm f/1.8 before? And how does IQ compare? On charts the Canon performs way above the Sigma/Canon 1.4s, and close to the 50L, but having never played with one I'm asking if the difference is really notable. I've been pondering getting a f/1.4 for a while now, mostly just for AF speed and build quality, but don't want to sacrifice the tack-sharp IQ to a noticeable extent. And have you had any AF accuracy problems? Sigma is notorious for that.

Also, you should check out the Sigma 30mm f/1.4. It stays on my 60D 75% of the time, it's a fantastic lense.

It's a lot more pure than Flickr, which has its uses, but is somewhat lacking. Don't fret though, it's tough to compete on 5∞px with the >9000 Russian photographers with dozens of images of barely clad to completely naked sizzling young women.

Anyone have some C&C for my photos a few posts back?

I shoot Nikon

I went with the Sigma over the Nikon 1.4 because I read in many places the AF was much faster, had better bokeh, and I always heard the Canon guys rant and rave about how great the Sigma is. I've only shot it wide open so far and the sharpness is nothing to write home about IMO, but I'm shooting wide open, I don't expect much.

I'm definitely sold on Sigma after buying their 17-50 f/2.8 OS. That lens is unbelievably sharp.

this.

It annoys the hell out of me that a skimpily dressed/naked woman will get more views and likes, regardless of how ****ty the quality is

I recently discovered how much actual porn is on flickr. The things I have seen, cannot be unseen.
